Definitions
- This invention relates to the drilling art, and is concerned with improvements in roller cutters.
- rollers and the bearing shafts on which they are rotatably mounted are subject to appreciable compressive stresses both axially and radially.
- roller cutters used for tunneling and raise boring operations, due to the stationary mounting of the bearing shaft on which the roller is supported.
- the bearing shaft is exposed to a very concentrated wear on a minor portion of the mantle surface of such bearing shaft.
- both spaced-apart legs of a saddle structure of a drill bit cutter assembly are provided with bores each of which extends entirely through the legs to receive a clamping bolt, said bores extending in directions including therebetween an angle of 0°-90°, and the shaft-receiving recess between said legs being of a polygonal shape complemental to that of the end portion of said shaft such that said shaft is adjustable in two positions having its bolt-receiving transverse bore aligned with those of said legs in both said positions.
- FIG. 1 shows a conventional bit cutter assembly for raise boring
- FIG. 2 shows an end view of the bearing shaft received between spaced-apart legs of a saddle structure
- FIG. 3 shows an end view of an alternative embodiment of the bearing shaft shown in FIG. 2.
- a raise-boring equipment which comprises a central shaft 10 and cutters 11 arranged concentrically therearound to function as first and second cutting stages.
- the cutters 11 are to be rotated by means of a system well known in the art.
- Each cutter 11 comprises a conically shaped roller the mantle surface of which is equipped with cutting bits 12 of hard metal or other wear-resistant material.
- Each said conical roller is rotatably mounted on a cylindrical bearing shaft 13 that is stationarily held in position by saddles 15. In FIG. 2 there is shown only one circular row of bits 12 on said conical mantle surface of the cutter 11.
- the end portion 16 of shaft 13 has a regular polygonal shape; it is square-shaped.
- the end portion 16 extends into a recess 19 between legs 17 and 18 of saddle 15, said recess 19 comprising flat surfaces complementary to those of said polygonal shaft end 16.
- Shaft 13 has a transverse bore 21 for the reception of a bolt 20 that extends therethrough.
- a corresponding bore 22 extends entirely through leg 18, located to the right in FIG. 2.
- the two opposed flats of said shaft end 16 and said recess 19, through which said bores 21 and 22 extend coaxially, are perpendicular to the direction in which said bores extend.
- Bolt 20 extends through bores 21 and 22, and has a threaded end with which a nut 23 is engaged to secure shaft 13 to leg 18. This is suitably effected by having nut 23, when in-screwed, engage with a recessed portion 24 of said leg 18.
- bore 25 extending through leg 17 located to the left in FIG. 2.
- bores 22 and 25 are located symmetrically in relation to the shaft-receiving recess 19 while including therebetween an angle of 90°.
- shaft end 16 is provided with two coaxial counterbores 26 and 27 each of which is arranged to be coaxial with bores 22 and 25 of said legs respectively when securing the shaft to the saddle in each said alternative position.
- the diameter of each said bore 26 and 27 is slightly larger than that of bolt-receiving bores 22 and 25.
- a portion 28 of the length of each said bore 22 and 25 is correspondingly widened to permit a cylindrical locking pin 29 to be partly received in both said coaxial bores 27 and 25 respectively, thus safely securing said pin 29 axially.
- This arrangement is formed to prevent the shaft from any rotational movement when the cutter being exerted to very large rotational forces.
- the shaft end may have other suitable polygonal shape -- rectangular for instance -- provided there is provided means for adjustment of said shaft in two positions turning around an angle of 0°-90°.
